Poppy and Garlic Scapes

I popped a few annual poppy plants into gaps in the garlic beds. Though definitely not going to optimize the garlic yield, overall this was not a mistake. This morning.

I was invited to make pieces for an upcoming ewer show. The concept was inspired by the gallery owner’s experience beginning to #garden with his family, enjoying the bounty daily, and using #handmade ewers to drizzle olive oil and vinegar over fresh veggies. I love making pots that pour, so the prompt was a welcome challenge, allowing me to combine multiple elements that I’ve practiced over the years. How would you use these pots?

A decorative ceramic ewer with a long spout and an elongated handle, featuring vibrant colors of dark orange, mottled brown-green, dark yellow with bright chartreuse accents. and geometric patterns. The long neck features concentric rings and the round body of the ewer is decorated with geometric patterns, carved lines and tiny raised dots. It rests on a shallow, matching plate. The background is a warm tan color.

A row of aqua diamonds encircles the rotund pot like a belt through the center. The jug has a curved handle and a wide, flared opening. The colors are black and dark red with deep aqua accents.

View of my berry box. On the right are newly-planted canes of Prime-Ark Freedom blackberry, red raspberry, black raspberry, tayberry, and boysenberry. On left, in the raised bed, are strawberries (Ozark Beauty, Merlan, Mignonette), and at the far end, Sunshine Blue blueberries. I call it Fruit Knox because the wire keeps the birds and squirrels out. #berries #rubus #blackberries #raspberries #boysenberries #tayberries #strawberries #garden #gardening #fruit
